  3. Medical Research Council • MRC – Influencing medical research in the early stages • AGPI – Influencing research strategy and decision making across the whole of medical research

  4. How does AGPI work? • Meetings • Meets formally four times a year • Visits MRC Units • Attends Research Board meetings • Attends policy and strategy meetings (SCoPE) • Advisory and working groups • Many and varied , including the Advisory Group on Research on Flouridation, the Autism Review Group, UK Biobank, and the Strategy Group on CFS/ME • Consultation • On Ethics guidelines, clinical trials, Human Tissue Bill etc

  7. Questions to pose 4 years on: • How should we involve the public in medical research? • Is PI appropriate for all types of medical research e.g. molecular and cellular research? • How can we ensure that AGPI and NOPI become more inclusive and diverse? • What mechanisms should we use to track the progress and influence of AGPI and NOPI members’ contributions to medical science?
